Girlfriendology interviews J.J. VIRGIN, fitness and nutrition expert in The Art of Losing It

Commenting on her experience with our guest today, Suzanne Sommers said, "Every once in a while, someone comes along who connects the dots and takes the mystery out of losing weight."

Girlfriends, we're about to connect the dots with a woman who has done post-graduate work in biomechanics, sports medicine, exercise physicology, nutrition and aging and has a PhD in Holistic and Clinical nutrition. And that's just scratching the surface.

J.J. VIRGIN has also appeared for several seasons as the fitness and nutrition expert on the Dr. Phil Show, and includes "nutritional coach for Superman" on her resume. How cool is that?!

J.J.'s new book (with co-author, Dan O'Dowd) "The Art of Losing It: Mastering Weight Loss in an Expanding World"* addresses all the key areas we'll discuss on this podcast: overcoming diet resistance, what types of foods and when to eat them, how sleep impacts our weight and, of course, how our girlfriends can help us in our fitness progress.

Does fitness and nutrition overwhelm you, like it does me? Do you struggle with a diet resistant body? Stay tuned for a Girlfriendology chat with "superWOMAN" J.J. Virgin!

THANKS J.J. for your life-changing inspiration! Check out J.J.'s website for more information and subscribe to her newsletter for a free report on "The Seven Biggest Mistakes to Avoid in Weight Loss."

* And, send in your inspiring girlfriend stories for a chance to win J.J.'s new audio book "Jumpstart The Art!" (companion book to "The Art of Losing It") in our June Girlfriendology Contest!

Coming up on the next Girlfriendology Podcast:  Okay, I might not have planned this well to follow J.J.'s diet inspiration, but out guest on the next Girlfriendology podcast is one of the BBQ Queens, Karen Adler. We'll just try not to be too tempted by her barbecue expertise and focus more on her friendship with her BBQ Queen partner and co-author of some of her cookbooks, Judith Fertig and their friendship and business partnership that has seen them through girlfriend grillin' like no one else! Can you say pearls and tiaras to barbecue in?!
